About this map

Sapelo Island and its surrounding barrier ecosystems are the primary focus of this McIntosh County coastal study. The map documents the intricate network of tidal waterways and settlements such as King Savannah and Raccoon Bluff, located on the eastern edge of the island. To the north and east, the protected expanse of Blackbeard Island is separated from the main island by Blackbeard Creek, while the southern reaches show Cabretta Island and the dynamic Cabretta Inlet.

A sparse but specific network of local roads including King Savannah Rd and the uniquely named E W Autobahn provide access to the coastal bluffs. The map's bathymetric detail extends into the Atlantic Ocean, noting the location of Blackbeard Shoal off the coast. This record of the Georgia coastline captures a landscape defined by its balance between named settlements and expansive marshlands, offering a clear view of landmarks like Nelsons Bluff and the path of Willy Brooker.
